Katie May

Katie May never set out to be a writer, but life had a way of steering her in that direction. Initially pursuing a path in political science and legal studies, she found herself unexpectedly drawn to storytelling, starting with a simple bet with her sister. That playful wager turned into The Darkness We Crave, her debut novel, which she self-published in 2018. To her surprise, the book quickly gained traction, becoming a hit in the indie author community after being promoted by a fellow author.

From that moment, Katie's passion for writing was ignited, and she dove headfirst into the world of fiction, eventually penning over 60 books across more than 25 series. Known for blending paranormal romance, fantasy, and contemporary fiction, Katie’s works often feature fierce, multi-dimensional female protagonists, unconventional relationship dynamics, and the kind of humor that lingers long after the book is closed. Her series, including Afterworld Academy, The Damning, and Darkest Flames, are beloved for their emotionally charged narratives, steamy reverse harem romances, and complex characters who refuse to fit into neat boxes.
